There’s
nothing
quite
like
being
recognized
by
your
peers.

Winning

an
Oscar,

Emmy
or
a Golden
Globe
comes
with
an
undeniable
amount
of
prestige.
Meanwhile,
box
office
returns
and
ratings
give
stars
a
window
into
how
the
public
feels
about
their
art.
But
to
have
the
people
who
know
the
craft
best—former
co-stars,
audition
competition,
time
slot
rivals
and
longtime
industry
pals—deem
your
performance
the
best
in
your
field
is
an
unparalleled
sense
of
validation.
Enter
the

Screen
Actors
Guild
Awards. 

This
year’s
nominations
will
be
announced
by


Joey
King
and Cooper
Koch on
Jan.
8,
and
the
winners
will
be
revealed
during
the
Feb.
23
ceremony,
which
will
stream
live
on

Netflix.

One
of
the
younger
award
shows
on
the
block,
the
SAG
Awards
were
established
30
years
ago
by
what
was
then
known
as
the
Screen
Actors
Guild,
the
union
formed
in
1933
to
represent
film
and
television
principal
and
background
performers
worldwide.
(In
2012,
SAG
merged
with
the
American
Federation
of
Television
and
Radio
Artists
to
become
SAG-AFTRA.)
And
at
the
onset
of
the
first
ceremony
in
1995,
the
legendary


Angela
Lansbury

took
the
stage
to
emphasize
why
the
night
mattered.
